I emailed the club yesterday, enquiring as to the cost of sponsoring the matchball for the derby. Still no reply. I was thinking we could all chip in and name it after our Benny. However, after much thought, I don't know if this would be a tad frivolous? Maybe a collection and donation to charity in his name would be more appropriate? I'm not aware of any charities Benny was a supporter of but I'm sure those who had the fortune to know him better than me could shed some light on this. I was thinking maybe the Samaritans or a mental health charity, due to circumstance. As much as I'd love to see City beat the rags with a ball named after him, I just feel this would be much more constructive. I'd very much like to hear others thoughts on this |

I'd had similar thoughts myself Nodds. Be good to get Bastard's, Emigre and Paddy's views though I reckon. |

depending on matchball cost, do both. i don't think there will be a shortage of tribute donations. |

if we are going to request smt from the club, we can prepare a template e-mail and then all posters can send it to the club which would probably make a bigger impact |

So quite a few different things have been suggested: - chip in for match ball sponsorship - chip in for a donation to charity - chip in for flowers for the funeral - get something in the matchday programme - get something announced at the stadium Are there any other suggestions? If so, I can edit this post and then the list can be discussed with Benny's family to see what they want. |

We couldn't send the same thing. I think that would just piss them off. |

It'd feel weird hearing Benny's name over the tannoy, and just a little... I dunno. I don't like this option though |

I'm inclined to agree, plus it's less likely that the club would do this and I'd prefer something in the programme anyway. |

Atleast if you go the programme idea. We can get a copy for his folks to keep. And all us. An announcement wont have the lasting impact of the programme |

This. I think the programme idea is a definite. It'd be a lasting memory of Benny right where he'd want us to remember him, in the heart of his club. |

When I thought about the ball, I was going to do one of those things people use for sponsorship. See if the club bother to reply first |

The programme idea's already covered I think - Bastard's sorting it out for the Scunthorpe game. Definitely count me in for a contribution to whatever's decided is the best idea. |
